I'm one of the few who doesn't want to trade him.
0/10 is the grade I'd give OTT on NOT keeping Chara, Hossa, Havlat, Heatley, Bishop, Spezza and soon enough Ryan and Karlsson in their prime.

Heatley instantly regressed
Havlat is broken
Biishop was the 3rd best goalie at the time
Spezza declining
Ryan still signed for 1 more year and likely to resign
Karlsson here for the next 5+ years on one of the greatest contracts in the league.
Chara was the only mistake letting go aside from alfie, and both of them can be directed traced to terrible ownership at the time(s).
Your argument has more holes than swiss cheese my friend, no wonder since you cheer for the losing side.
edit: You conveniently, like all leafs fans forgot that your own team was unable to find a single player to play Sundin during his prime and instead left for greener pastures in vancouver.
